If they did fresh server with no boost allowed,well that server would die pretty fast.Only casuals would really play on it.Same reason why many classic servers died when casuals moved with free transfer to fresh servers when classic launched because of queue times,people who actually wanted to play the game did the right thing and stayed on the overpopulated server,waited out on the queue times and now server is fine once the filth was gone,and once the casuals got taste of the game the servers diedâŚLeaving all your chars/work you did during classic and throw it away,like who on earth would do that but a casual who will log once a while to fart in a bush near zangarmash and maybe kill a bee that flys there,just to log off right after.But hey,at least he/she can say they play on server with no boosts.
No that server would not die fast. It would be one of the most thriving considering how many people are opposed to the boosting and gold cap changes that are/are not being implemented. Making atleast 1 fresh server is not hard and will allow people to play the game how they want, considering how many are dead in classic right now anyway. Why would you oppose that? Ignorant trollop.
"most thriving"coming from people who want to cap/reset/remove peoples gold,because they DONT play the game.âi cant afford this,people have more gold than me,i want it removedââŚOnly reason classic is still alive is because of people who PLAY the game and see no issue with having no fresh level 1/no boost server.This might come as surprise to you but most people want to play BC for dungeons/raids/bg/arenaâŚnot restart everything.
Haha! Youâre one of those who raid log and chase world buffs and then try to tell everyone how to play the game, and you speak like you know how the majority of people think? Why is that? What is up with clout chasers on this forum. Having fresh servers gives people the OPTION to start fresh or carry on their server how is that so hard for you to understand? I know people that have been asking for fresh servers since before the âdeep dive and boostingâ was even introduced. So no, when you speak, donât speak like you know what everyone or even the âMajorityâ of players even want, because you donât have a clue and only know what you want.
inb4 another based opinion for a forum troll.
Why would I pay for something then do that?I play the game trough the whole week,get buffs on day of the raid.
Iâm not trying to tell how to play the game,all Iâm saying is people are not that interested in redoing old stuff and want to actually play the ânewâ part of the game thats out.Itâs same in classic now,people are not doing older raids anymore,its pretty much just naxx at the moment.People are not that interested in old stuff,shocker i know.Are you really saying majority of people want to leave everything they did for over a year and restart and delay them self for bc end game content?
Imagine thinking a payed boost will impact the economy in a significant way.
No, it will barely be noticable, a few more proffession alts among the thousands thats already at 60 pumping proffession cdâs.
Pretty much every player i know on my server have 1-2 alts that they got tailoring and/or alchemy on already.
But judging from your other replies in this thread, replying to you is pointless cause you dont seem to want to see how little impact the boost actually will have.
Only good reason for being anti boost is that you shouldnt be skipping leveling in a rpg, but mage boosting for the entire classic have kind of ruined that already, so you wont find that many players left in classic who actually give hoot.
Probably the biggest impact the boost have on the economy, is that there will be less customers for people doing boosting services in Azeroth dungeons.
Well, we donât know how many people are actually opposed / donât care about the boost.
Unless people want to start all the way from level 1 for TBC, we have no information that weâd want a fresh TBC server.
The forums are a very small minority of actual players.
It would be pointless to have a fresh server with a boost allowed, since either you buy the boost or you will be far behind them.
Itâd have to be a fresh server without boosts available/transfers available to it.
I like how he never said that, but people being people, you twist his words/make something up and use that as the foundation of your argument. Iâm not siding with him either, both âboostsâ are bad, just one is worse than the other.
I care. I even downloaded an addon, to expand my ignore list for WTB and WTS boosters.
But what can we done? Remove the Mage class? Let me thinkâŚ
Nothing. They want nothing from WoW classic. Which is why they didnât play it.
Thatâs why they need the level boost, so they can enjoy TBCC without going through classicâs outdated content that has no relation to TBCC, while we are in Outland.
Yep, we all just imagined those full servers. How delusional we all were, seeing imaginary players everywhere. Every Classic server on launch stood empty without a single person playing on them.
They probably just put those fake login queues in for a laugh.
Everyone was far too busy having an absolute ball in BFA.
If you need me to spell it for you, youâre obviously never gonna change your opinion. Weâre comparing in game reward through real life currency, to paying for an ingame service using in game currency, which is also slower i.e. xp boosting doesnât give you max level in 10 seconds. Blizzard could solve all of this anyway without resorting to a paid boost which lets be honest here, is just for the extra bucks.
âŚwhich can be obtained through RL currency as well. Yes, the method is slower and more risky but fundamentally its the same concept.
Oh noes, you mean a corporation wants to make money?
How Shocking
Oh wow thatâs big brain, gold can be obtained through purchasing from gold sellers which break TOS, instead of cracking down on that and fixing mage boosts, lets just create a paid boost, whatâs next the token? And yes a company wants to make money, donât quote the obvious and act smart, blizzard wanted to make money in 2007 did you see any paid services there other than you box cost and sub? Thought not, try again m8 your b8 is not very gr8.
Fixing mage boosts was suggested a gazillion times, people just cried #nochanges
Oh yes, âlets crack down on bots!â ⌠great idea, slight problem thoâŚgaming companies have been trying to âcrack down on botsâ for as long as online gaming existed, and no one, including some of the worlds most gifted engineers, has yet found a way to completely get rid of bots with low chance of false-positive banning innocent players along the way.
So, as long as that doesnât change, getting rid of incentives for people to buy what the botters are offering (aka. gold), is probably not a bad idea.
Did you played other MMORPGS ? Even tho its kinda obvious to state what you said there, but i never saw a bot in TESO,GW2 or FF14. I think that there are some bots in those games, but in comparison to wow ?
That maybe a bold statement, but i think wow is by far the most botinfested MMORPG there is. And you can see them everywhere.
Actually I havenât seen anyone from the nochanges crowd asking to not fix mage boosting personally.
And the issue with mage boosting is the mobsâ pathing glitches, which makes mages pull hundreds of mobs all together and aoe them down, which is new to classic and didnât happen back in og vanilla. Otherwise, boosting in dungeons always existed, even in 2005. I remember people being boosted in RFC/SFK/SM etc by high level players but it wasnât this much efficient because they would pull 1-2 packs and kill them one by one instead of pulling the entire dungeon at once.
Also, what Sladin said above. This has been answered hundreds of times, but still, the only âargumentâ that boost enthusiasts can bring to the table to this day is mage boosting.
It is really sad and depressing.
@op
It would definitely be interesting to see boosters crying on forums to Blizzard for opening character transfers to no-boost servers after a month because the vast majority of players chose to play on a proper MMORPG environment for sure.
But well, no they wonât separate the two, because that would make them lose a lot of money as it would discourage most players to not boost their characters.
There is a simple algorithm to predict Blizzardâs decisions, which we learned from our 13 years of experience (ever since Activision bought them): If they make money short-term, it goes through. If it doesnât make them money short-term, they ignore it.
Pretty simple.
